I've heard there's this special website that tells you what song was number 1 on the day you were born. Does anybody know the name of that? I would love to check that one out!

Wow! That really is pretty neat! One of my favourite songs (Every Breath You Take - The Police) nr. 1 in U.K. on my birthday!
The site has tons of other stuff. For example you can find out which popstars share your birthday! :)

I just checked out the website and learned that the No 1 song on the day I was born was "Just My Imagination" by the Temptations. Thanks for the link, Xenomorph!
On the UK charts the #1 song on the day I was born was "Hot Love" by T Rex.

It could have been much worse. At least it wasn't Bread (one of the LAMEST bands of the 70's in my opinion)

I checked my girlfriend's out, and the UK one matched yours, and some Bee Gee's song... that must have been a popular tune in the UK, can't say I remember it

I wasn't familiar with that T Rex song either; I do know their one major US hit "Bang a Gong Get It On" - their version is good, but I like the Power Station remake better.

U.S: 5th Dimension: Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In
U.K: The Beatles w/ Billy Preston: Get Back
Aquarius was later theme to a nauseating musical called "Hair."
Get Back was the concluding number in the sublimely terrible movie "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band." No Beatles, but that really is Billy Preston as the wizard into whom the weathervane metamorphoses. The wizard in the white pimp suit makes everything well again in Pepperland.

I remember the Sgt. Peppers movie, it used to be my favorite movie as a child, now I show it to my kids as a punishment ;D
So I had no taste as a child...sue me.

No taste as a kid?
:-[ I voted for Reagan in our fifth grade straw pole, in which Jerry Brown won in a landslide. It was a Waldorf school, everybody's parents were for Brown.
Oh, as for bad taste in entertainment...
In the early '80s we watched the Saturday evening line-up:
T.J. Hooker, Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Saturday Night Live.
Alright, there was some funny stuff on SNL, but Bill Shatner and two Aaron Spellings? I look back and gag.
Was the song "Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep" and the artist Middle of the Road? Not sure I ever heard that one. Not so big over here.
If you want to really punish your kids, make them watch Warren Beatty's "Reds." That one and "All the President's Men" were movies I thought I found boring because I was too young to understand them. When I watched them as an adult, I realized they were boring because they're CRAPPY MOIVES. What perplexes me is that nobody gets how crappy these movies are. They just keep raving and raving about them after 20 and 25+ years. "Reds" just seems like a bunch of Hollywood snobs TRYING to make a sophisticated movie about John Reed, and ATPM is a story in which we watch two guys write a story. Snooooooze!

I think Peter Frampton and the Bee Gees were in "Sgt Pepper" too and it supposedly derailed their careers for a while.

Sgt Pepper's
Peter Frampton was Billy Shears
the BeeGees were The Hendersons
Also featured
Aereosmith as The Future Villain Band
Alice Cooper as Marvin Sunk, the Sun King
Earth Wind and Fire
George Burns as Mr. Kite
Steve Martin as Dr. Maxwell Edison
Donald Pleasance as B.D. Hoffler
Max Showalter as Ernest Shears
---Thank You IMDB
bring it back to the '80s with trivia: A very successful character actor, Max Showalter's last role was Grandpa Fred in "Sixteen Candles"
--Thaks again IMDB
The BeeGees superstardom faded a bit after tastes turned against Disco. Frampton's career also suffered because of fading tastes. Aereosmith got derailed by heavy drug abuse. I don't know that you can attribute any career damage to the Sgt Pepper's debacle, embarrassing though it was!

I'm familiar with that Cher song; that came out during the time when she and Sonny were doing their weekly variety show where she would wear all those Bob Mackie gowns and they would bring out Chastity at the end of every show and sing "I Got You Babe"; they were divorced one year after "Half Breed" came out
